History: May is Peter Parker's feisty yet loving aunt, and the widow of Ben Parker. Ben's brother died when Peter was very young, and May and Ben raised the youngster as if he were their own son.

When a burglar invaded the Parker home and demanded the family's money, Ben quipped that the thief probably had more cash than they did. The man shot him at point-blank range.

Peter -- newly possessed of amazing, arachnid-like abilities -- dashed off to avenge his uncle's death. Upon seeing the hoodlum's face, he recognized him as the crook he had allowed to run past him on the street days earlier. The moment Peter realized he could have saved his uncle, he understood the words Ben had spoken to him earlier that night: "With great power, there must come great responsibility." And so was born the sensational Spider-Man!
